CMHI is currently building 2 Diving Support Vessels, due for delivery in 2015, which makes CMHI one of the most experienced Chinese shipyard to construct these complex vessels for UDS.

The custom-designed DP2 MT6023 DSCV vessel, classed under Det Norsk Veritas (DNV), is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, which allows the vessel to operate in unrestricted waters for subsea support works. She is also equipped with a heave compensated 150T crane (depth of 3000m), a 18-men saturation system twin 18-men SPHL up to a depth of 300m, and WROV with LARS system.

Dead-weight : approx. 5600 T at SWL

Cargo deck area : 1000 m2 + 1 in no 3.9 x 3.9 moonpool

Max speed : 14 knots at dm = 4.5 meter

Complement : 120 men

The delivery of these vessels is ideally positioned for the uptrend in the subsea sector of the oil and gas industry in 2017/2018. Mr Shel Hutton, Chairman of UDS, said "I am pleased by the positive response by oil majors and major diving companies to the design of our diving support vessels, and it affirms our company is heading in the right direction to build quality and size-appropriate vessels catered for the market. The current slowdown in the market allows us time to ensure our designs are optimized and customized for relevance in the oil and gas industry. I am thankful to our partners, and supporters, especially MT, DNV, and CMHI, who have supported the company's vision, and realizing our plans to build these vessels."

Merry Christmas from the CMHI UDS building team. The "Van Gogh" receiving its final block. The Bulbous nose going in place.
Amazing job Jithu and your team

Our DSCV " Van Gogh" taking incredible shape. The Bell umbilical winches being installed as the last few pieces of the puzzle come together.

The reasoning by naming our first vessel "Van Gogh". They say he was a genius in his time. He died at the age of 37 in 1890. Van Gogh was believed to have painted a rough estimation of 2100 paintings which 860 were painted in oil. Van Gogh actually painted many self portraits of himself with a multitude of colors. Like most artists they have a sense of creativity which we have taken into our ship building. At UDS we pride ourselves in the building of these fantastic pieces of modern metal art. I remember painting "Van Gogh" back in 2011 in a "Hoody". By 2018 we will have our first "Van Gogh" vessel. Shel Hutton
